DEATHS AND DEATH-RATE.
The deaths registered in the borough during 1912
numbered 1,830, 920 males and 910 females, but of
these 173—82 males and 91 females—were of persons not
belonging to the borough, while 366 inhabitants
of Fulham, 219 males and 147 females, died outside the
borough, chiefly in various public institutions. There
were therefore 2,023 deaths of persons having their
usual residence in Fulham, representing an annual rate
of 13.0 per 1,000 of the estimated population. With
the exception of that of 1910, which was 12.5 per 1,000,
this is the lowest rate recorded in Fulham, and is 1.9 per
1,000 below the mean rate of the preceding ten years.
Among the Metropolitan boroughs the death rates
ranged from 9.9 in Hampstead, 10.4 in Wandsworth and
10.6 in Lewisham to 16.9 in Bermondsey, 18.2 in
Shoreditch and 18.9 in Finsbury, and in the following
table the mortality of Fulham may be compared with
that of the adjoining boroughs, of the County of
London, and of other groups of areas :—
